Study Notes
Hyperglycemia Symptoms
- High blood sugar levels
- High levels of sugar in the urine
- Frequent urination
- Increased thirst
Categories of Glucose Intolerance
- Impaired Fasting Glucose: Elevated blood glucose levels during fasting, but not enough to diagnose diabetes
- Impaired Glucose Tolerance: Blood glucose levels raised beyond normal, but not high enough to warrant a diabetes diagnosis
- Pre-diabetes: A metabolic condition, also known as borderline diabetes, closely tied to obesity
- Type 2 Diabetes: A metabolic disorder causing hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance and/or inability to produce enough insulin
